Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises
John PiperGod took the record of all your sins-all your sexual failures-that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, he put them in the palm of his Sonโs hand and nailed them to the cross.
John PiperWimpy worldviews make wimpy Christians. And wimpy Christians wonโt survive the days ahead.
John PiperGod created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.
John Piper
